    Recovery Partition always mounted


    Windows 1909

    I converted my main boot drive to GPT (I have no idea if this is relevant, but mention it for completeness).

    Since doing so the "Recovery Partition" is always mounted as Drive G.

    I have not assigned a disk letter to it in Disk Management and it won't let me assign G to it so I can them remove it.

    What's the incantation to make Windows not mount the partition?

    How To: Create recovery partition.

    it worked when i copied all the files of the disk to the recovery partition i created, but i had to use WinPE tab to add the entry.

    Type: WIM Image (Ramdisk)
    Name: Recovery
    Path: Z:\Sources\boot.wim
    and hit Add Entry
    I tried it in VirtualBox and it worked.
    At first, it would add a second "Windows 7" entry to the list, but when the installation is finished, the old one is deleted. (I formatted only C: partition)

    Lost recovery partition

    Hello, I see that you are having issues with recovery partition. I would suggest you using the diskpart command in the command prompt. First, open up the comand prompt as an administrator, then type in diskpart. Now, type in list disk, and look for the
    recovery partition drive. Follow the steps in the link below:

    Hope this helps, and let me know if you have further questions! Recovery Partition always mounted :)
